1. I cook primarily for control over a lot of factors (taste/health/cost/ingredients). I find the process enjoyable but it's not my primary motivation.
2. I make rough meal plans for about half the week and then have a large stock of things like broth, rice, beans, pasta, frozen vegtables and fish that don't spoil and are very versatile.
3. With a toddler I like to make dishes I can cut out a portion and then spice up the remainder. Favorites are soups, rice/cous-cous salads, and pasta.
4. No diet.
5. Stock a few items like in bulk and learn to master them (I keep a lot of broth, canned tomatoes, canned beans, pasta, and grains).
